All their more general points in the post are perfectly valid arguments for focusing on a single database that I've heard from other projects, but naming specific technical issues like that actually makes it seam more nit-picky and les

Obviously it varies between counties, but here in the UK I can transfer money between my three banks essentially instantly (normally less than 15 seconds), for free. And we were late to the game. The only time I pay to use an ATM is at ones

Reminds me of my first job out of uni, 18 years ago. I was working on the SPARK toolset, and one of our customers was the Eurofighter, who still used VAX VMS for their development. We had to maintain an old Micro VAX box in the office to pe

I don't blame you. Not that I ever want to live in London, but central Paris just wasn't somewhere I'd ever even consider living in.

Well, good to know I didn't miss anything :) It's one of the things I really appreciate when I go to London, there's always a park within walking distance or a short bus ride/tube trip.

Sorry for the slow reply. I used to work for Praxis (now part of Altran) who used to be the owners of the SPARK tech, in fact I spent a while working in the SPARK team on the automated theorem prover technology. Howerver this was a consulta

Bit of a tip for anyone thinking of visiting Paris who is sad they won't get to go in Notre Dame, head up the hill from Montmartre to the Basillica Sacré-Cœur. While it's not as old or as well known, it was far more interesting to

ITT: any comment criticising Paris getting downvoted.

Have you been in the last ten years? Perhaps it's just because I've grown up in the UK, surrounded by gothic and medievel buildings etc so a lot of Paris is just more of the same, but for me my weekend trip to Paris about 10 years

I don't know why you've been downvoted, but that is a spot on description. I found parks in Paris to be dusty and dry, and frankly not particularly pleasant. Compared to having a picnic in London, Paris' parks seemed really n

This looks like a great idea. I think we deperately need to green our cities as much as we can. We need to make them as healthy and pleasant places to live as we can. I hope this is part of a trend. One of the things that struck me when I v

I used to work in SPARK (all caps), and while I don't miss the industry, I do miss working with the language. When you use it as it was meant to be used, it's incredibly empowering, it's like working with the world's mos

I've often wondered about this. I get about 50mbps at home, and it's essentially more than enough for everything I do. Sure, having a faster connection speed would be great for big downloads, but I've never had any idea what

This is my number one annoying dark pattern from Google at the moment. I would very much like to store my home and work addresses in Google Maps on my phone, but I can't do that without them also storing everywhere I go. There is no go

> I think every team needs to find the approach that works best for them to itemize, prioritize and communicate progress. Couldn't agree more. A development process is like your CI pipeline, there's no one solution for everyone

Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't considered the length of the tube in the this setup. Is this how floating oil rigs work?

I really hope this is a sign of a generally more grown-up attitude at some of the media/tech companies. All this dick-swinging just inconveniences users and pisses people off. I'm hoping that Amazon and Now TV (Sky) eventually pul

As someone with a Monzo account, but whose main accounts are with Barclays and Nationwide, I find the hype around the "challenger banks" in the UK a bit unexpected. I'm not really sure I understand what they are offering that

This is why I send interesting articles etc to my kindle to read. It's so much nicer reading longform stuff on eink than a laptop screen. The conversion isn't always right, but it's normally good enough.

I'm very salty about that. I really wish they'd just release a range of perhaps 2 phones, one solid mid-range and one top-spec, that get guarenteed fast updates to Android. I used to have a Nexus 5, and getting the latest android

Is this basically why things like Inbox, and the endless attempts at messaging, all come out as seperate products rather than enhancements to existing products, because that way you get to say you launched something new?

To play devil's advocate, we don't know how sucessful they would be if they followed a more orderly model. Not saying they wouldn't be, but it's entirely possible that they are successfull in spite of, not because of how

Likewise. I'm much more likely to just go "meh" and close the tab if I hit some shitty cookie dialogue that makes me manually untick 37 options before continuing. There are plenty of good sites out there who have either less

I miss working in Ada, but I don't miss the industry. Working in SPARK Ada and Prolog early in my career taught me the importance of understanding what the "philosophy" of a language was in order to use it well. After far too

It's like the whole thing with vitamin supplements. Unless you are actually deficient in one of them, taking them isn't going to do much for you, and in some cases might actually cause you harm. It's like fertiliser on a fiel

In a lot of these sorts of situations land ownership is a bit different. In the UK (and I assume in the US) there just isn't anywhere you could construct something like that without being moved on. Here in the UK, the major issue for h

This just reminded me of Reagan's mantra of "trust but verify" during the period of nuclear disarmament (which seems like another world now). If you want to cooperate, even with your biggest enemy, you both have to operate wi
